Everything goes through them.

NBC bought your company for
two million bucks. What about me ?
:39:07
People watched me on that show. Look.
Look. Look at this.
:39:10

after the show ?
:39:27

lt's tied up. lt's--
:39:37

:39:40
He's more of a bookmaker.
lt's seed money.
:39:43
He's setting up in Florida right now.
He says it's the next growth area.

- Fifty bucks a week ?
:40:12
That should be me
on the cover of Time.
:40:14
- Shit, Herb, just sign the statement.

:40:16
He wouldn't know the answer to
a doorbell if you didn't give it to him.
:40:19
Sign the statement,

:40:21
Sign the statement, Herb. Sign
